My mistake. I was thinking of this shot but it turns out it's AL1 after all. Hey, even "experts" makes mistakes once in a while.

Originally posted by boognish: What I want to know is if only 5 symbols were given (Slurm, right? or was it drink? five letters either way I suppose) how did someone crack it after the very first episode? Wouldn't you have to have seen every symbol in the alphabet to have known what it would look like? I mean, I could understand them catching that those five alien letters spelled Slurm, but Cohen made it out like they deciphered the whole language from those 5 letters, and I just don't see how that's possible. There were 3 messages in AL1 in the opening sequence: one saying Rent A Human, one saying 3d rules and finally one saying Tasty Human Burgers. SP3k had the drink in "Drink Slurm". Based on those 5 letters, and with the knowledge that the code was a simple substitution code, the 3 ads in the opening sequence were decode using a bit of logic guesing. Finally they decoded the Venusians Go Home sign as a final confirmatin that the code were correct.
